The Boardwalk
Onwards and upwards to the Boardwalk we go.
Usually it's kind of deserted out here in the winter, but it's such a nice day, there's people taking walks out here.
This guy was even getting a sun tan out here!
There's Ruby's! The good news is they now have an eight year lease and will be open next season! I can't wait!
This guy was taking a little snooze on the benches that line the boardwalk.
The Wonder Wheel is taking a rest as well, till next season.
Paul's Daughter also got a new lease and it looks like they're getting ready to paint new signage on the place.
It almost looks like a summer day out here!
This girl was playing in the sand as her father watched from a bench.
Smile...you're on Tripping With Marty!

People are out and about there when the weather is nice. I love Coney Island/Brighton Beach even more in the winter. Special. Have more fun Marty.
Pervert Alert! Marty, you better run along before the father calls the cops.
@Melanie: It's a great day out here! Thanks for chiming in.
@Sam: Kind of scary that that's your first thought. If I prayed, I'd say a prayer for your daughter.
Glad to see you're getting more comfortable traveling to and in Brooklyn! Can't wait for the party to resume at Ruby's. We've gotta meet you and Gumby!
@Katrink: I'm ready for Ruby's too! I'll see you out there opening day! Just look for Gumby and I'll buy you a beer!
You have our yesterday weather today! Good thing you went today because your tommorow weather is gonna suck gumby balls! Cheerio Motherfucker!
@Professor Dungpie: I'm enjoying it while I can! Thanks for the forecast! And Cheerios and milk to you too, Motherfucker!
Your last two pics are extra itchy.
@csp: Mr. Sandman!
Great pictures, Marty. I love being down here in the winter, & somehow, the photographs are always beautiful & a little heartbreaking. Glad you're travelling around so much. Despite all the hideous changes, I still love living in this city.
@onemorefoldedsunset: Thanks! Glad you're enjoying the blog! I'm with you, as bad as it seems sometimes, I wouldn't want to live anywhere else!
Good news about Ruby's and Paul's Daughter.
(however that sounds)
Glad to see they will be back for you to visit on your travels.
Keep up the great day trip(per)s!
@"Boris:" Good news indeed and they scored an eight year lease! We'll see them in the spring for sure!
Ha, I love the sunbathing guy!
@Goggla: Me too, he was a great guy and a real Coney Island character! I love the people you meet doing this!
I love the sunbathing guy's hat!
@Biff: Me too, pretty spiffy!
